THE OFFICER IS BLACK, OK?  WHAT THE HELL IS ALL THE RIOTING FOR??!??[/quote]
Someone upthread implied that the black officer might have become racist because he was under the influence of white racist cops. So even though a black cop did the killing, it's still the white man's fault. [/quote]
No. what I said was, there are those who state that. I didn't imply it was true or that I believed it. And I think people say that because they have to fit it into their 'agenda'.[/quote]
My mistake, then....you weren't referring specifically to yourself. But the point is the same. While you do not necessarily think the black cop could "turn" racist due to white influence, there are those who do. And, in those cases, whites are still being blamed for the bad action of blacks.

The two of you are having a discussion of a point that neither one of you -- nor any other poster here for the matter -- actually made. I've heard of straw men arguments, but this is ridiculous. One person invents a straw man, another quotes that person, then they discuss it among themselves. How about we just stick to things that have actually been said by actual posters rather than the imaginary ones that speak to you through your dog?

What is really ridiculous is the riots alleging racism, given that THE OFFICER IS BLACK!

BLM is ridiculous.  It's proven itself a purely anti-police movement.  All lives matter![/quote]
[b]BLM is setting back race relations two generations.[/b] [/quote]

I don't understand comments like this.  BLM is not some marginalized, fringe group.  Most educated, established black folks I know--which includes lawyers, physicians, PhDs--supports the movement in principle.  And many open-minded non-black friends do too.

I like this IG photo of HBS students I saw today:

[b]Once BLM came out with their list of "demands," which reeked of hostility - even hatred - toward whites, along with their anti-Israel rantings, I lost any modicum of respect for them.[/b] They should be out there on the airwaves, imploring the rioters to behave peacefully, lest they feed the very sterotypes they are trying to dispel. They were better last night - thanks, National Guard - but the previous two nights showed why police might be nervous around blacks and, in a freak-out moment, prematurely pull the trigger.[/quote]

The bolded is my sentiments exactly. That is where the movement lost me.[/quote]
